Notes About The Poem

This is not me, it is fiction. It's a small poem about the idea of "the bad boy". 

Bad Boy

My name’s The Bad Boy of the town,
Bad Boy to the bone.
And I walk the streets without a care,
I walk the streets alone.

You see, I’m always in the game,
Searching for the mark,
Always playing by rules of “Pick ‘em up”,
Always hunting like a shark.

A shark that lets them vent,
Moan and groan about their affair,
About their emotional issues,
And I sympathyze: “It’s so unfair.”

All the while my goal is to
Unwrap the gift that’s my lady friend,
Then leave the mess and continue
With my life that’s all pretend.
